Keeping an eye on Communist, Totalitarian China, and its influence both globally, and we as Canadians. I have come to the opinion that we are rarely privy to truth regarding the real goal, the agenda of Red China, and it's implications for Canada [and North America as a whole]. No more can we rely on our media as more and more information on China is actively being swept under the carpet - not for consumption.

Vancouver Kingsway NDP MP Don Davies speaks about a petition to ban the import and sale of dog and cat fur in Canada.

An investigation by the society found that most of cat and dog furs are harvested in Asia, and then sold and marketed as "faux" fur in other places around the world.

According to the investigation, the "primary" use of this fur is not for full-length coats, but for trimmings on parkas, gloves, boots, hats and other accessories.

"With rare exceptions, dog and cat products are not labelled as such," the investigation says.

In response to this, the Canadian petition is asking the government to "ban the importation of any dog and cat pelts or furs, and prohibit the sale of said products in Canada."

Similar bans already exist in the U.S., European Union and Australia.

Sponsored by Vancouver Kingsway NDP MP Don Davies, the online petition has garnered more than 6,000 signatures since its launch on Jan. 18, 2016.

More than 2,700 of these signatories come from British Columbia alone.

"It's something that shocks the conscience of most Canadians and shocked mine," Davies told CTV Vancouver. "It made me upset enough to want to sponsor this petition and bring it to the attention of this government."

The petition has also attracted the attention of other high-profile Canadians, including singer Bif Naked, who shared the petition with her 140,000 Twitter followers on Jan. 22.

The petition is open to signatures until May 17, 2016.

All supporters must be citizens of Canada and provide their name, email address, country and telephone number. There is no minimum age requirement.
